Lord Aiden Masters, the Marquis of Covington, must launch his late fiancée's younger sister, Lady Celia Fairburne, on the Marriage Mart. It is a duty he disdains nearly as much as he disdains Lady Celia herself. At wit's end, and trapped between abhorrent duty and percolating desire, Lord Masters arranges a betrothal between his ward and a distant relative--a relative that does not exist except in name only: His!

So begins a tangled masquerade of machinations that reveals untold desires and threatens to upend the Marquis' carefully crafted facade. The facade itself poses a precarious death knell to his future and that of Lady Celia. While the Lord and Lady struggle against competing tides of duty, can the Marquis' final masquerade reset their course toward one final act of undeniable love?
